1 Setting Up the Projector T his chapter tells you how to unpack the projector and connect it to a notebook or desktop computer or to video devices, such as a DVD player, a VCR, or a video camera. You can also connect the projector to a USB storage device or digital camera (PowerLite X10+/PowerLite W10+ only).
Unpacking the Projector After unpacking the projector, make sure you have all these parts: PowerLite S10+ Projector PDF manual CD-ROM Password Protected sticker Projector 2 AA batteries (for remote control) 20 Setting Up the Projector Power cord Remote control VGA computer cable Adhesive skin Carrying case
PowerLite X10+/PowerLite W10+ Projector PDF manual CD-ROM Password Protected sticker Projector 2 AA batteries (for remote control) Power cord VGA computer cable Remote control Carrying case Adhesive skin USB cable Save all packaging in case you need to ship the projector. Always use the original packaging (or the equivalent) when you need to send the projector to another location. See page 91 for transportation instructions. If you are moving the projector by hand, use the carrying case.
Setting Up the Projector ■ To receive a component video signal from a DVD player or other video device, you’ll need a component-to-VGA video cable. One may be included with your video equipment, or you can purchase the ELPKC19 cable from an authorized Epson reseller or from an electronics dealer. See “Optional Accessories” on page 17. ■ To receive an S-Video signal, you’ll need an S-Video cable.
Positioning the Projector If the projector isn’t already installed in the room you’re using, you’ll probably want to place it on a table in front of the screen. This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Keep these considerations in mind as you position the projector: ■ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface. ■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and under the projector.

Checking Projector Status If your projector isn’t working correctly, first turn it off and unplug it. Then plug the power cord back in and turn on the projector. If this doesn’t solve the problem, check the lights on top of the projector. What To Do When the Lights Flash The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s status.
Error light(s) status Error light(s) status P Green or orange Flashing orange Off P Flashing red Off Flashing orange P Red Off Red Description It’s time to replace the lamp. See page 86 for instructions. If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement warning, there is an increased possibility that the lamp may break. Rapid cooling is in progress. Although this is not an abnormal condition, projection will stop automatically if the temperature rises higher.
Solving Projector Operation Problems The power doesn’t turn on. ■ If the projector doesn’t turn on when you press the Ppower button, make sure the power cord is connected to the projector and plugged into a working electrical outlet. ■ The power cord may be defective. Disconnect the cord from the outlet and contact Epson as described on page 105. ■ If you’re using the Direct Power On function and you immediately plug the power cord back in after unplugging it, the power may not turn back on.
■ The attached computer may be in sleep mode or displaying a black screen saver. Try pressing a key on the computer. ■ If you are projecting from a DVD player or other video source, make sure you turn it on and press its Play button. ■ If you are projecting from a composite or S-Video video source, make sure the Video Signal setting is correct (see page 71). ■ You can also try resetting all of the menu settings (see page 69).
■ Depending on your computer’s video card, you might need to use the Display utility in the Control Panel to make sure that both the LCD screen and external monitor port are enabled. See your computer’s documentation or online help for details. If you’re using Mac OS X: 1. Open System Preferences. 2. Click Display or Displays. 3. Click Detect Displays. 4. Do one of the following: Mac OS X 10.6.x users: Click Show displays in menu bar. 5.
■ Make sure your computer’s resolution setting is correct. See the compatible video formats listed on page 110. ■ You also may need to modify existing presentation files if you created them for a different resolution. See your software documentation for specific information. ■ If you’re projecting a widescreen computer image, adjust the Resolution setting (see page 71), if necessary. ■ If you’re projecting an image from a computer with dual display activated, turn dual display off.
■ If you’re projecting from a computer, press the Auto button on the remote control to reset the projector’s Tracking, Sync, and Position settings. The image is blurry. ■ There may be dirt or smears on the lens. Clean the lens as described on page 84. ■ Adjust the focus using the focus ring (see page 52). ■ If the projector is angled sharply toward the screen, it may not be possible to focus the entire image. Move the projector to position it more directly in front of the screen.
■ If further adjustment is needed, you can fine-tune the Tracking and Sync settings manually using the Signal menu, as described on page 72. 1. Fill the screen with an image containing fine detail, such as a pattern to appear as your desktop background, or try projecting black text on a white background. 2. Adjust the Tracking to eliminate vertical bands. 3. Adjust the Sync setting to increase the image sharpness. The image is too light or dark, or colors are incorrect.
■ Make sure the correct input signal is selected in the Signal menu (see page 72). ■ Make sure that all cables are connected to the proper ports and connected securely. There is no sound, or the sound is not loud enough. ■ Use the Volume buttons to adjust the volume (see page 60), or adjust the Volume setting in the Settings menu. ■ Make sure A/V Mute is not enabled. (Press the A/V Mute button to disable it.
Solving Problems With the Remote Control The projector doesn’t respond to remote control commands. 104 Solving Problems ■ Point the remote control towards the projector’s receiver. Make sure you are within 6 meters of the projector and within a 30° horizontal angle and a 15° vertical angle from the projector’s front or back receiver. ■ The remote control’s batteries may not be installed correctly or may be low on power. To change the batteries, see page 90.
